Almost didn't see that you have added photos of several more pieces. New posts are brought to the attention of others, but edits are not. The 2...
Have been weeding out e-mail accumulated during the months when I wasn't very functional. Most get deleted unread, but do take a peek at...

I think what looks like a cross is a stylization of the intertwined ribbons of the herald's staff/caduceus & the downward pointing thing is his...
